    No good. A rough head that tried to do good.

    Condolences to his family and friends. Les was a true hero out there through his foundation that helped many people. A western suburbs and Braybrook icon.

    He was a great human, the world is a worse place without him.
    The curse is dead.

    I once remember hearing him described as the battler who worked tirelessly to help others.
    RIP Les and condolences to all who knew, loved and admired the way he dedicated his life to helping others.

    Sad news. Condolences to family & friends. The legacy of his tireless work will l Iive on & I would think inspire others to do good things.

    His surname kinda echoes his larger than life reputation (presence and efforts).

    Re: Vale Les Twentyman

    RIP Les.

    I’ve worked in community services/mental health and now education in the West since finishing uni years ago his legacy in the area is incredibly strong. Foundation often takes our students. Young Carers program I ran years ago, the young people benefited from their programs too. He’d have folk take the Mickey out of him occasionally but in a tough environment he was someone who has rolled their sleeves up in the hope of something better. Really admirable.

    One of us, and one of a handful of folk who are emblematic of this club and how it’s identity is interwoven through the community with football but not only football.
